All HAIL the new EQ KING? - Eventide Split EQ vs Fabfilter Pro Q3 ua-cam.com/video/y1n5RSiRT9Q/v-deo.html
yo white noise I commented on another video about tiktok mix, could you do a video on how to tiktok mix for your track from bandlab cause I got really confused by the app you were using, if you were wondering what video it was it's called "How to get a perfect audio mix in Tiktok! - Loudness Secrets Revealed", if you could do this it would mean the world, thanks :)
(Three Body Tech Kirchhoff EQ) > (Split EQ) > (Fabfilter PRo Q3)
Anymore questions before you all can eat your hearts out?
I'm a little late to the question and biased but Split EQ is phenomenal. I've never felt I had that much control over the sound while EQ-ing and actually getting to a result I'm fully happy with and without concessions.
Thank you for your hard work editing and learning all the features of this awesome plugin to make it easier for us to understand! You are the Video Manual for these plugins :-) Thanks again and I appreciate your hard work!!
Hey Leon, many thanks! I read the manuals so you don’t have to, right ^^
Exactly! I absolutely feel the same way. Thank you so much man!!
You deserve by far more subscribers! I don’t know anybody who presents plugins so efficient and entertaining as you do!
many thanks for your kind words! sharing a video or this channel will help a lot in growing :-)
@@whitenoisestudio Yeah, we will support you, man!
The information contained in your videos and the way you present it makes them priceless! Thanks for everything you do! You are helping so many people understand complex plugins, how to use them, and the concepts behind them! Really excellent!!!
Ah man, highly appreciated! You're pointing out exactly what i'm trying to do in my videos, so your comment makes me very happy. Thanks!!!
@@whitenoisestudio can it do what Waves MV2 does? Waves has lost my business
@@ELLIOT8209 Yes , but sooooooo much more
As soon as I used it, thousands of possibilities came to mind. Use it with external sidechain to get the instrumental bus out of the way of the vocal (a la Trackspacer, but way more versatile).
Exactly. The more you use it, the more possibilities you see. Your suggestion actually would make a good video.
@@whitenoisestudio glad you liked it. Keep up the good work!
@@nunojorgenjstudio7954 How do you use it as a trackspacer bro.
@@whitenoisestudio have u have done the vid?
Yeah. I guess. Trackspacer is incredibly transparent. But I'm sure you could find lots of creative uses for this if you really weren't going for transparent ducking.
looks all really phantastic. I also like that you focus on a single section of the music, and music doesn’t suck like it normally does elsewhere ;0
ha thanks! opinions on the music I use differ ;-)
What you are doing is great and deserves a lot more reviews!
Many thanks for your kind words!!!
another excellent walk thru... made me buy this plug-in ! 💚 Thank you !
Very happy with my purchase 😻
I honestly think this is one of the best compressor plugins. Enjoy it!
Thanks for a very comprehensive overview - a useful reference video for me!
Great to hear!
I am demoing it and it is really really good! Thx for the review as always mate
oh man, this one is very sweet. One for the best of 2022 list.
So quick with excellent, top notch content. Thank You!
Thanks! Wasnt that quick, got caught by suprise on the early PA membership release. I had the beta for a few weeks already.
@@whitenoisestudio Aha...nice. Excellent content either way my man!!! Thank you...
;-) thanks man ^^
I have the mix and master subscription so downloaded this immediately to try it out. This has a very steep learning curve! I threw it onto a drum buss and my mastering chain on a track i was working on. I played with some presets and made some adjustments. It would be nice if there was an AI analysis feature like some of the izotope plugins or other smart plugins. Im definitely going to have to play with this more but very impressed by my initial experience.
If you try to follow the order I showed it gets easier I’d say. Like reduction first, boost second, tonal third and transient to round it off
In fact an advanced alternative to the beloved OTT. Amazing results!.... put some tilt eq + transient shaper after OTT and we got similar shit. Probabilly my #1 Dynamic Shaper
OTT is pretty sweet and free. Cant beat that ;-)
Great video sir.
Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this review! Question for you. Is there something Sculpt can do that Izotope Neutron and Izotope Ozone can not?
Sculpt is a compression / dynamics specialist. Ozone is way more of an all in one mastering package and Neutron more of a channel strip XXL. So there is absolutely overlap, sculpt is dynamics only and does that really, really good and more flexible than neutron or ozone.
Quite clever design....the future is going to be very interesting!
Hopefully! There have been some good ones released which push boundaries over the last 8 months.
Thanks, insightful and to the point 😎🤘
Glad it was helpful!
So is this like a multiband MV2 from waves? + MO-TT from Slate?
What do you think? lol
What the video i'd say.
This is really good. I like that it's not trying to be a saturator too. Just focusing on one this from pretty much every angle. And there's oversampling... Because without it, this level of dynamic control would definitely create audible aliasing. I'm going to have to check this one out. It sounds like things are generally really well done with consideration for sonic impact..... Most of the tweaks you demonstrated sounded very natural.
This plugin is a beast. I basically always dial a little upward compression ( just a little! ) , and use downward compression to control peak and louder parts. It works so well on basically all audio you use it on.
This looks like a damn good and very versatile plug in!
It is. The more you delve into it, the more you will find out how much this one can do.
You could turn this into a very flexible/powerful multiband processor inside of bitwig using the multi3 preset. Put one instance in each band and away you go
That's an awesome trick you shared!
this looks interesting! I compose orchestral music so is hard to understand how to use the infos regarding compression *** etc given by beat makers. The first two that i started to use with more awareness are Mv2 and something’s 156 by Waves. Now i am curious about this one. To use use just one plugins to automate dynamics and articulations in the bus would be ideal
The whole idea of this one is to give you a big set of options to achieve transparant dunamic processing. it's certainly up that task.
@@whitenoisestudio total, i got the feel!
@@emanuel_soundtrack yes!
Ooooh Very cool! Thanks for another great video! 🎧
for sure! what is that headphone emoji?
@@whitenoisestudio It's the stock emoji if you search "headphones". 🙂
Quick question, do you use the SM7b for most of your videos or another mic outside the camera view?
@@ek3098
@@whitenoisestudio Thanks for confirming! I use the same mic and would love to make my vocals sound as good as yours. For that, I'll keep watching your content. =)
is the tone module a dynamic eq + exciter? I honestly dont get the different between this and Eqs with saturation
More like a tool which pushes audio to an ideal EQ curve you set by using dynamics.
@@whitenoisestudio it means, it corrects the dynamics so to say to adapt to the desired frequencies?
@@emanuel_soundtrack yeah sort of like that.
The transient shaper alone makes this worth its price and them some. I don't even use it as a compressor as I prefer the sound of other plugins but simply putting this on the master and adding a little transient and tone really brings out the kick, bass and snare drum.
Nice! I really like to use both compressors. It’s so easy to add even out dynamics with those. Also VERY easy to complete kill all dynamics ;-) use with care
Love everything by Adptr... instant buy...
its good stuff for sure!
Ok so just trialed it, I'm no wiz or anything, but 220 ms latency on the plugin in Ableton, even if latency is set to lowest in the vst? That's a lot... Anyone have issues w this?
Why is the latency an issue? Ableton should be able to compensate that during playback. This is not a plugin to be used while monitoring.
@@whitenoisestudio True, I just think it's a lot, plus right now the latency holds, even if the plugin is turned off. But apparently Metric AB sent over an update to adress latency among others things some weeks back, right now waiting for PA to approve it and push the update live. Thanks.
Better than Ozone9 from Isotope?
Different tools really. Ozone offers way more for mastering.
I demoed it today. Not gonna replace my la2a distressor 1176, what ever for tone.
But for precision work, it just does it better and faster than amything else.
I use it to expand breathy vocals, softed or intensify constinants, and shape top end as an amazing de-esser.
Allows me to rescue vocal performances that are expressed amazingly, but has flaws.
You don't need this if u record perfect musicians... but we're not perfect musicians
I love the Sculpt to get a really steady level on an audiotrack, that upward / downward combo is extremely powerful. Handle with care ;-)
nice hoodie
How'd y'all think this compares to Elevate?
Elevate is optimized for mastering and has tools tailored for that. So for that purpose alone Elevate would be better suited. Sculpt can do mastering as well, but since elevate is a bundle and gives you teh freedom of using th eplugin in any order you want, I'd go for that in mastering situations. For mixing, I REALLY like sculpt.
@@whitenoisestudio Interesting stuff - Did you compare the tonal shaping with gullfoss?
No I did not.
This seems too similar to NewFangled Audio's Elevate for me to justify, but it's cool to see other companies take on this style of processing! I do like ADPTR audio's work as a Metric AB owner.
I have never dived into elevate, seems interesting to put it up against sculpt. As far as I can tell right now, i'd say sculpt is more versitile because Elevate mentions multiband limiting and maximizing. Sculpt is dynamics processing in the broadest sense, including compression and not multiband - much more sidechain orientated which will influence the entire audio.
I own Elevate and I don't understand the comparison, how is it too similar?
Somewhat broadband compression. But they differ for sure.
Try MSpectralDynamics from Melda Production and MDynamicsMB that is Advanced!
melda makes good plugins for sure.
OK, and then the big question, is this thing CPU-heavy?
No it isnt :-) except when you decide to do 16X oversampling of course.
@@whitenoisestudio Nice! I love PA plugins, so I will get this sooner rather than later!
I can get it now for $75...you think is worth it for me to get it? Good video BTW🌌
I’d say it is worth the price for sure, and thanks :-)
I should've watched THIS video/quasi-tutorial first!
First before what exactly?
Not only a great plugin review but also a lesson on compression, expansion and transient processing.
Thanks for your kind words! Much appreciated :-)
Im not sure what you gain using this 1 plugin instead of a chain as normal. The auto gain feature is cool maybe? that's the only value I can see really.
The 4 modules work somewhat together, which will give a different result than having the 4 in series. Also the speed with which you can work and adjust is a big plus and ofcourse, the flexibility with the extended sidechain is a big plus as well.
The plugin is great. The latency is horrendous..
Agree. The latency is something which is needed to make the plugin function like it does. It's also something adptr points out themselves, and I dont think you want this plugin to use in realtime monitoring anyway, its really mix/ master only.
And your DAW's latency compensation will take of the latency then.
13:13 original sound better. That sidechain/pumping effect fits maybe electro house but for this no. And yeah I have listened lots of Sepultura :D
That's korn ;-)
Would be nice if u did the realtime usage on a more suitable song with dynamics instead of 1 crazy distorted guitar and a snaredrum. Other than that good review.
thanks but I think you have watched a different video. your music comments don’t apply at all on this video.
Nice but i think i prefer my fabfilter plugins
Fair enough! But I dont have a Fabfilter Plugin which does exactly this.

Super detail concerning plugin; musical choice difficult to listen to. Thank you, Jimmy.
Thanks for listening
man.. i like your content! but find it would win a lot by introducing small pauses between sentences or points. For me.. i can follow... but it does not sink in. Sometimes a little time is needed to think... and if rush through content i can not view it. Thanks
Yeah pacing is always one of the hard parts for me in a video. You never know if you do it right - barely any feedback on that. So your comments is very highly appreciated! Many thanks.
Feels like cheating
Compressors are unnatural ...
They are? Usually they grow on trees…
sorry, for me the bad plug in 2022 for one reason....... bad tone
Plugin doesnt have a sound.
@@whitenoisestudio bad dynamics.......is better?
